Fall is always a stunning time to take photographs. We are so lucky to call this beautiful city of Burlington home and as the years go on I appreciate what Burlington has to offer more and more. Being blessed with lake Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment, the farms and wildlife, one could sometimes forget we are in a city.

Your Tuesday News Update

For the past month, as I am sure you have noticed, election signs have littered the lawns all over Burlington. We have had lots of candidates interested in having a hand in making our beautiful city better. I speaking for others, but so many folks in the community have such pride and love for this great city and I know we are all after the same goal of improving it for the benefit of everyone.

For our Burlington Elections, emphasis was placed on improving transit and outdated retail spaces (which would always be a plus!) Also, maintaining Burlington’s reputation as best mid-sized city in Canada, while adding density.

Upon being re-elected, Rick Goldring said a top goal was to progress with Burlington’s Community Energy Plan.

• “It’s such an all-encompassing plan that includes how we build our communities, how we generate our energy … A big issue we need to keep going on is job creation, economic development, as well as our storm water and sanitary sewer infrastructure,” Goldring said.

While Burlington has little available land for development, Goldring stated that he wants to focus on land surrounding GO stations to utilise the space to its maximum ability, bringing jobs to the area, while keeping our greenspace open for enjoyment.

During the August

2014 flood crisis, it was highlighted at how the city needed infrastructure renewal, with the storm contributing to an estimated $83 million in flood damage.

Re-election seemed to be the name of the game in the Halton Region as mayors of Milton, Oakville, Halton Hills and Burlington were all re-elected.

Bank of Canada Sees Evidence of Soft Landing in Housing Market CREA

The Bank of Canada announced on January 22nd 2014 that it was keeping its trend-setting overnight lending rate at 1 per cent, where it has been held since September 2010.

Since the Bank’s last announcement in early December, inflation in Canada has moved even further below the Bank’s 2 per cent target. Moreover, the Bank indicated it is now expected to remain lower for even longer and not return to target for “about two years.”
